Service staff were pleasant and helpful. Room service was faster than service in the restaurant. Breakfast menu choices are limited - no buffet breakfast and only one set dish covered in the price. But plenty of options on the menu. Food was good.

views overlooking the sea, islands and town. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Great location. Excellent customer service. Sarifa made us feel like at home, helped us organise breakfast and transportation so that we could go ahead with our planned activities hassle free. organising transportation from and to town was as easy as getting in touch with the front desk on the phone. Everything was very easy and got support throughout our stay. views from the restaurant and the pool are magical and the food was great too. Karuna will be my top recommendation for anyone wanting to visit El Nido. Karuna has been built on a hill and you can see that the property is property maintained and taken care of.

Quiet and out of town but you can walk to El Nido town in 20 mins. they also have free shuttle. We loved the location and views and took photos. There is a beach at the bottom of the road and cross the road, but we preferred the hotel pool and used the pool a few times. The room was spacious and clean and we used the balcony for quiet time. There is an outdoor shower and 1 tucked away from view so best of both worlds.

the property itself is really lovely, incredible views and the villas are gorgeous, honestly nicer than expected. the view from the pool also is lovely across Corong Corong. This would be a perfect place for sunset in the pool.

The most beautiful views of El Nido from the villas and the main pool. Villas are beautiful and loved staying here. It is very steep to walk up and down to the villas and to get to the main street so they supply a driver to help get you around, which is very helpful. Staff were very friendly and happy to help with any queries or requests.

Beautiful location, with incredible views! The pool area is the best, with amazing view over the sea and cliffs of El Nido, you just can’t get enough of it. The staff was the nicest, always helping with whatever we needed and their complimentary transportation to and from town was very helpful. We got upgraded to a better room which we were very happy with. The food and drinks at the restaurant are really good, many options to choose from. All in all, this was one of the best boutique hotels we’ve tried and we highly recommend it.

Super spacious and comfortable villa, amazing view! We loved the villa, The Internet wasn't great for Zoom meetings but manageable. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Location was perfect - above all the craziness with a fantastic panorama.

This was by far my favorite stay I’ve booked on booking.com! We booked a villa for 5 people. The views from the villa were absolutely stunning! We had a private pool that overlooked the ocean with the best views of el nido! The villa was so cozy & clean with plenty of space ! Oh & comfy beds! They even provided a whole jug of water for us! We would’ve just been happy staying in this villa our whole trip … lol But of course we had to explore the rest of el Nido! The staff at El Nido were so friendly and helpful and truly made us feel like family! You guys have the best staff! Lester at the front desk was always available if we had question ! It was easy to communicate via WhatsApp with him! Karuna has their own transport which made things very convenient! We were able to set up airport pick up and rides to and from town and vanilla beach! We appreciate our driver Bendy! He was very kind and even drove us as closer villa when it was dark at night ! The food & drinks and Karuna were delicious & we ate many meals there ! We booked a nightly massage at our villa which was one of the best massages ever-highly recommend! The location is great too! Less than 10 mins from town!

11/10 I would highly recommend Karuna Villas in El Nido. I booked through booking.com, which was very easy. The front desk receptionists were very quick to respond to my questions on Booking.com and WhatsApp. They were able to arrange our private shuttles to and from the airport with Zion shuttle service. When we arrived, Anjie was very personable and helpful. They offered us welcome drinks upon arrival which was a nice touch. We stayed in the Studio Premier 5 room, which was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 1 child. The room had 1 king bed and 1 king sofa pull out. They had an extra twin bed frame prepared for us, but we opted to remove it from our room for more space. The balcony view was gorgeous. We utilized the hammock and outdoor bathtub. We appreciated that the bathroom, shower, and sink were detached. The room was also very close to the restaurant and reception area. The room had an open concept with high ceilings and was very spacious. We loved the design of the rooms with the high quality wood furniture. One thing that was missing from the kitchen was a microwave. The hotel had purified water in the rooms, but we bought bottled water before arriving. The hotel offers free breakfast. All of the waiters and waitresses were very pleasant. The infinity pool and view were amazing. The pictures on the website does not do the hotel justice. The hotel was very clean and well stocked. The bed sheets, pillows, and towels were very comfortable. We want to take the time to thank Anjie for making our trip enjoyable. She helped arrange our tricycles and tours on our first day. Her brother Anthony served as our tour guide of the town and tricycle driver. He took us to the Canopy Walk, Bulalacao Waterfall, Nacpan Beach, and into town to do some souvenirs shopping. The following day, Anthony showed us around El Nido for more shopping and exploring. He was so nice, personable, and patient.
